    The BEST Brownies

    These Brownies strike the perfect balance between chewy edges and a gooey, melt-in-your-mouth center. Made with browned butter for an extra layer of nutty depth, a touch of instant coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor, and melty chocolate chunks in every bite—these brownies are pure indulgence.
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 25 minutes
    Total Time: 40 minutes
    Servings: 9 brownies

    Ingredients

    • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
    • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 2 whole large eggs, cold
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 2/3 cup all purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
    • walnuts, if desired

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 9 or 8 x 8 pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Lightly spray with cooking spray or grease with butter. Set aside.
      Add butter to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until light brown / caramel in color. 5-10 minutes. Make sure to keep and eye on it so butter does not burn. It also helps to use a light colored saucepan for this.
    • Pour browned butter into a large bowl along with both sugars, cocoa powder, salt, instant coffee granules and baking powder. Stir until combined and allow to rest for 5 minutes or until the mixture has cooled down.
    • Stir in the eggs and vanilla and mix until batter has a nice sheen to it.
    • Fold in the flour and stir until combined. (Do not over mix). Add in the chocolate chunks or chips and stir until combined.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
    • Cool completely and lift out the aluminum foil or parchment paper.
      Cut into 9 brownies and serve.
